Sean Bell’s Widow To Run For Queens City Council

    New York Daily News reports, Nicole Paultre Bell, the widown of Sean Bell, will run for a position as a Queens City Council member.

    “What happened to me four years ago-I didn’t expect that to happen,” Bell said, while speaking exclusively with the Daily News. “This is what life threw my way. It made me realize that there are serious problems out there.”

    Paultre Bell’s cause was taken up by the likes of Jay-Z, Game, Papoose and others in the Hip Hop community after Sean Bell was murdered by a group of NYPD officers while leaving his bachelor party in 2006. The city has since settled a lawsuit with the families of Bell, Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield.

    At issue is Paultre Bell’s lack of political expertise and the fact that she currently resides in Far Rockaway. She would have to relocate to the Jamaica/Queens area in order to be eligible, as well as collect 899 signatures from registered voters to enter the council race. She has currently secured endorsements and personal relationships from Rev. Al Sharpton, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Governor David Paterson. More on Paultre Bell’s entry into the Queens City Councilman race is available via New York Daily News.

    1. R.I.P to Sean Bell, don’t know much about the situation and the family obviously I’m from Denver, lol. Good for his widow to be making positive steps. But I will say this….WHY IS IT AL SHARPTON GOT TO STICK HIS NOSE IN EVERYTHING YOU BLACK PEOPLE DO??? Tell his ass to go on somewhere man, he feel like he need to weigh in on EVERYTHING that gotta do with Black folks. GO HOME AL!!!! At the end of the day WE ARE ALL PEOPLE no matter the race, ethnicity none of that. WE WERE ALL MADE IN GOD’S IMAGE.

    2. Jesus Christ is real and is coming back!! His coming gets closer by the day! Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today!! He will never turn you away!! Satan is real and does not want you to know this!! Rely this message to your friends and family!! JESUS SAVES!!!!!

    3. It’s wrong to collect blood money and then use the situation as a means of winning a seat on the city council. She’d have alot more credibility without Al, cause wherever there’s settlement money, there’s Al.

    4. Al Sharpton is the equivalent to a ambulance chasing lawyer. He shoves his nose in situations he doesn’t belong in.

      When the Duke lacrosse rape scandal came out he was the first mother fucker on t.v. talking about it’s a travesty that these white boys think they can get away with raping a black women…then when the truth comes out that the woman was lying, where was Al’s apology to the lacrosse players?

      Fuck you Al Sharpton. Rot in hell.

    5. dude seriously…fuck al sharpton….fake ass…this dude like the other guy said always has his nose somewhere it dont belong…and where the fuck is this guys church??…i have never seen this guy preaching the Word of God anywhere…let alone seen his church or congregation…this guy is a fuckin joke…civil rights activist??…no…more like a complete fuckin fraud…
